Where I'm From-shannonthecannon


I am from bamboo chopsticks
from frying noodles and the smell of the sea
I am from the seashells on the wet sand on the beach
(shining,glistening white,as salty as the sea)
I am from smelly durian and strong black coffee
from the tan straw hat my grandma kept from the farm
the time I spent to keep in touch
I am from these memories--
explored before I noticed ,
beyond the family garden.
